Sin
“He who is without sin among you, let him throw the first stone at her.”
John 8:7 (Word English Bible)
It’s easy for us to judge other’s in their sin…but we have no right to judge them, because we ourselves are not with out sin. There isn’t a human on earth that has never sinned. We are all human and fall short of the glory of God, that’s why He sent Jesus to die for us – to pay the price for our sins so that we could be blameless and pure in his eyes and spend eternity with Him in heaven. Now that doesn’t give us the right to sin and do whatever we want, no…we must live to please God and not our sinful nature. And satan will constantly tempt all of us, we all have our weak areas and satan knows what each of our weak areas are and will tempt you in the area he knows you are weakest in. When that happens, pray and ask the Lord to give you strength to resist temptation, and I also encourage you to talk to a fellow christian about the sin that you are tempted by and to ask them to hold you accountable. In some cases you may even need to get counseling or be in a support group to get freedom from the sin that you struggle with. God will ALWAYS provide a way out of the temptation. So if you find yourself tempted…look for that way out…and seek help from other’s. Also spend as much time in God’s word and in prayer and with the Lord as you can..God will give you strength and help you. And don’t judge other’s in their sin. Pray for them, and know that but for the grace of God there you would be, too.
